I got a Hario Switch a few weeks ago and, honestly, I wasn’t sure where it was going to fit in between my Chemex on the one side for large, slow brews and my Aeropress on the other for quick, single dose fixes. But the Switch has fast become my favourite coffee brewer.
I have not seen much mention of it so I thought I would give it a shout out on here to see if there were any fans and techniques to be shared.
I opted for the 03 off the bat so I had plenty of room for immersion and, having used it now, I don’t really see how the smaller size would work satisfactorily so - if you are curious - definitely get the 03.
Came across this a while back and found it interesting. I don’t have one myself, but making me think about it. https://youtu.be/gC8K40kZ_6E
Yes that’s basically why I got my Switch and its mostly the way I use it: percolate for the bloom then immerse for the brew. Although I’m going to play around with that soon.
Tetsu Kasuya’s is my favorite recipe for the Switch! To me, it’s easier than a normal V60 yet produces cups just as sweet, especially as I usually only dose 10g.
